    I have watched zero footy this year, but I am tuned into the AFL Grand Final. GO THE SWANS! (Even tho they lifted ND’s fight song…)


    The US needs to copy this Roy & HG idea of offering an alternative ‘funny’ commentary for major sporting events.


    So. Tense. GO THE SWANS!


    HOLY SHIT. NED KELLY KICKED THE WINNING GOAL. Hooray!!!


    Fantastic game. Hooray for the Swans! And there’s the Notre Dame Fight Song again… (I hope it’s an omen for ND next week!)


    Crap crap CRAP. Seems this Spring lurgy that’s been going around has landed on me and @the_snook on the day before he leaves on his trip.


    Instead of a romantic parting dinner, we are listening to authentic German music and drinking litres of beer. http://t.co/1JDBMcw5


    @drkknits I wish. Instead my throat is getting sore and I want to go to sleep. Still hoping to sew, but will keep you posted.


    @drkknits And this was a bad dinner choice for dinner. Cacophony. Going a bit crazy.

    PROST!! @ Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe http://t.co/EYWIR181


    I got them to play “Du, du liegst mir im Herzen” and I sang along loudly and @ Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe http://t.co/lAGI4lSt


    Oh yes. Chicken Dance. @ Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe http://t.co/3PwoltlV

    Dear @the_snook, we miss you already! http://t.co/2Uh0lgkx


    @stufromoz Eh, we’ll be fine. The first day apart will no doubt be the schmoopiest. 🙂


    @stufromoz Better idea – sewing party with the girls! 🙂


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Made it to Central in plenty of time to catch 9:13. Be at Roseville in about half an hour!


    @drkknits Aye aye! *salutes*


    @drkknits I’m here!

    Dear sick people of Sydney: I managed to go this entire year without being sick, but it seems you’ve infected me the day before the Snook leaves for an overseas work trip. Oh, and he’s got it too. We both feel like crap, and we think you suck.


    A romantic parting dinner… NOT. Octoberfest!


    Schnapps is medicinal, right? I certainly feel a hell of a lot better. 🙂


    PROST!! http://instagr.am/p/QJ6jhUxJLv/


    I got them to play “Du, du liegst mir im Herzen” and I sang along loudly and cheered. Everyone in the restaurant now thinks I’m crazy. VERRÜCKT!! http://instagr.am/p/QKBNTgxJN2/


    Oh yes. Chicken Dance. http://instagr.am/p/QKC-fuRJOo/

    Schnapps is medicinal, right? I feel better, anyway. :)

  • Car-share cuts need for street parking

    Car-share cuts need for street parking – SMH – Good ammunition for the next time car owners start bitching about spots being given to car share schemes (such as GoGet, which we belong to). Every share car on your street is replacing twelve cars that might otherwise be fighting over that space – and yours.


  • Cat Tunnel Couch Has Hidden Tube for Feline Companions | Designs & Ideas on Dornob

    Cat Tunnel Couch Has Hidden Tube for Feline Companions | Designs & Ideas on Dornob – Have I blogged this before? I feel like I have. Anyway, I do not think this would solve our “cat vs. couch” issues. Our cats do not like to go into tunnels. Our cats do love to shred upright fabric-covered surfaces. I need a couch made out of chainmail.
